(i hope i can make my self understandebl –> not a natve english speaker)

ok, AE gives you the ability to projekt a image on some solids (white would be the color of choice)

YT gave me this as a example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Rhq_bqQ40

think it the other way around –> don´t mak the enviroment –> make the object (or whatever you need to visulise)

to get a tut : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKCzep6-baY
or
maybe take a look at VCP / tuts / Camera Projektion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4ugVYrNQ1c

i hope i understood what you try to do!?
😉

ah ok!

now you got me thinking 😉
(in a good way)

what about Camera Projektion?
projekt the “thing” on some solids and make your camera move free.
you can only “get away” with somd smal angels, but maybe it´s enough!!?!

I realy try to help!

how about shoot the images you need?
don´t make 10 –> go for 30 or so!

(take a step back, to see the bigger picture)

[Stefan Hinze]

try expressions,

L = thisComp.layer(index+1);
delay = 0.5;
timeToStart = 0;
myDelay = (index - L.index)*delay;
t = time - (timeToStart + myDelay);
if (t > 0){
delta = L.transform.position.valueAtTime(t) - L.transform.position.valueAtTime(timeToStart);
value + delta
}else{
value
}


this code will look at the posission of the layer below itself.
(if you need the layer above, change the INDEX+1 to INDEX-1)

delay = 0.5;
will hold 0.5 seconds bevore it follows, change the value as needed!

timeToStart = 0;
will delay the start… change as needed!

I think i have this code from Dan Ebberts’s
(motionscript.com)
but i am not shure, pardon me if i am misstaken

##

– Make a square (or whatever)
– Make a Animation, as seen in the clip you Linked
– Duplicate ONCE & aply the code
– Duplicate the one square that now has the code N times.
– Distribute as needed
– hit render / preview…

hope this helps!!

Tracking would be the solution.. i think!

– Track the Dot
– Aply TrackingData to Null
– Parrent STUFF to Null and Enjoy 😉

[Stefan Hinze]

hey,
try to drag the clip on the NEW COMP Ikon…
(in the PREJECT window)

AE should make a new comp that matches the clip..
(should work in CS3)

hope this helps!

[Stefan Hinze]

hey,

the hair is not set as a guid-layer?

(take a step back, to see the bigger picture)

[Stefan Hinze]

hey,
in order to do it proper, use PremierePro 😉
well, CC is a field with many ways of working and opinions…

i would use PP, becouse of the Scopes!
(there is a tool -qp Grade Assistant- that gives you scopes, but in AE cs5, no scopes!)

you can use photoshop… to get the values… but thats just something i heard… not something i know…

[Stefan Hinze]

no no no, you don´t need to do this by hand!!!
Help is on the way!!!!

there are scripts that do this for you…
or
you can parrent all to a null, and scale the null down…
or
just put the 1920 comp in a new comp 480 and scale it down!!

go for the last option! benefit of that way is –> changes in the 1920 version, will be in the 480 version!!!
i hope this helps!

i think you meant: they showed up in PS and AI?
i can not recall automaic guides in AE…
(am i missing something?)

if you want giudes: make the ruler visible, click on it and drag a ruler out. to get rid of the ruler, drag them back in the ruler.

😉
hope this helps
